Happy Mothers Day!!!! The Baltimore Orioles look to sweep the Houston Astros after a thrilling five to four victory last night. The Orioles are going to activate Chris Davis today and he is back starting at first base. Davis only played one rehab game at double-A Bowie. I will have the corresponding move later.
Matt Wieters could go to the DL but it looks like the Orioles are fine with him DHing.
Here is the lineup from a tweet from Brittany Ghiroli.
